1. Update Your Graphics Drivers

When Diablo II: Resurrected crashes or locks up, one of the first things you should do is to update your graphics card driver since an up-to-date graphics driver always ensures the best gaming performance and fewer bugs.

To update your display card driver, here’s what you can do (please note that the following screenshots are taken on Windows 11, but the instructions work on Windows 10 as well):

1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key and X at the same time, select Device Manager.
   
2. Double-click to expand the category Display adapters. Then right-click your graphic card driver and click Update driver (the name of the graphics card can be different on your computer).
   
3. Then click Search automatically for updated driver software.
   
4. Wait for Windows to find the latest driver available for you.
5. When the driver update is done, restart your computer for the change to take effect.
6. Then check and see if the problem is fixed.

If Windows says that it’s already found the latest driver for you, so no newer drivers are found, then you should consider updating your drivers in a different way with the help of Driver Techie.

3. Repair Damaged Game Files

Damaged and corrupted game files for Diablo II: Resurrected can lead to numerous errors and problems, like the crashing and locking up problem that you’re having now. You can either update the game or use the repair tool to resolve these issues.

But before you move on to use such a tool, please first check for game updates before using the repair tool.

To do so:

1. Open the Battle.net desktop app.
2. Click the icon of Diablo II: Resurrected.
3. Click the gear icon next to the Play button and select Check for Updates.
   

If your Diablo II: Resurrected is already up-to-date but it still won’t launch or it crashes in the middle, please use the repair tool:

1. Click the gear icon next to the Play button and select Scan and Repair.

4. Check for Overheating Components

Some issues such as game lockups and crashes can cause by overheating hardware components. So if the above software fixes don’t help to fix your crashing or locking up Diablo II: Resurrected, please use this tool to see if hardware overheating is the culprit.

There’s a free tool for such a test, HWMonitor from CPUID, and you can download it from here: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html.

After the installation of HWMonitor, start and run it while you play Diablo II: Resurrected until the crashing problem occurs. Then see how high the temperatures reach in HWMonitor.

If your CPU goes above 60 degrees Celsius or your video card (GPU) goes above 80 degrees Celsius, then you should consider overheating as the main cause of the crashing issue for your Diablo II: Resurrected.

Here are some things you can do to lower the hardware component temperatures or even prevent overheating:

1. Turn off overclocking if you have had it enabled by some third-party software. Afterward, restart your computer and launch the Diablo II: Resurrected to see if it works.
2. If you’ve never enabled overclocking, then check if your computer has a buildup of dust inside, which can also cause overheating issues. If so, please have it cleaned by a certified technician.
3. Make sure you’re playing on a solid and flat surface if you are using a laptop. Soft or uneven surfaces can block the laptop air vents and reduce airflow so that the system runs at a higher temperature.
4. A cool environment can help you prevent overheating as well.

Sometimes Diablo II: Resurrected runs smoothly with admin access, according to some users’ feedback. Here you can have a try and see if it helps.
